Environmental Resource Permit for the new St. Petersburg Pier Approved

An Environmental Resource Permit has been approved by The Southwest Florida Water Management District (SWFWMD) which will allow for the demolition of the existing St. Petersburg pier and the construction of the new Lens pier.

Even though this permit has been approved, St. Pete still needs to receive federal, state and local authorizations before they can demolish the old pier and begin to build the new one.

Anyone who has objections to the permit has 21 days to submit a request for an administrative hearing.
